  • MEAT

    The Butcher’s Block product mix, product lines, and purchasing decisions are based on many factors. These variables considered include: supporting local farms, overall meat quality, quality yield and grading, availability, environmental sustainability, seasonality, customer and business value, animal care and welfare, raising methods, and food ethics. A good rule of thumb - if you don’t see it, just ask us. Please address any specialty inquiries or sourcing questions on our “Inquiries” page.

  • SEAFOOD

    Our seafood deliveries come fresh daily, with our largest selections arriving Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. We purchase according to market availability and value, with attention to environmental sustainability and health considerations. All seafood is either shipped overnight from our coastal business partners or driven directly from our Chicago hub distributor. None of our fresh seafood is every warehoused and we welcome special orders at no additional charge. A few of our selections may previously frozen due to origin or seasonality and are denoted in the store accordingly.
